Code: BMD (DOB boiler violation code)
Description: (Boiler Violation Code) is a DOB code used in a violation number to identify a boiler-related violation. It is the same boiler category as BDM, a display variant used in some DOB violation lists.
Practical Meaning: If BMD appears on a property record, review the full DOB violation number and notice to learn the exact boiler condition, required correction, and deadline. A licensed professional may be needed to inspect, repair, test, or file required boiler documents. BDM — If you see BDM, read it as the same meaning as BMD; it generally appears because of formatting, data export quirks, or a vendor/reporting variation, not because it denotes a different rule.
Where You May See It: Most commonly used on DOB documents and systems to label items related to Building and Demolition actions (for example, permit types, job classifications, or filing categories that involve demolition work tied to a building project). Use this when you see it on permit pages or index entries.
Why It Matters: An open DOB violation can require corrective work, filings, proof of correction, or payment of penalties. Check the complete violation record rather than relying on BMD alone, because the code identifies the boiler category but not the precise violation condition. Treat BMD and BDM as referring to the same subject area. If a legal or title‑search question depends on the exact code, confirm with DOB by phone or with a DOB record search to avoid mistakes.
